Malaguista stamp
“Many World Cup stars have played for Málaga. A lot of Uruguayan players have also reached the World Cup thanks to Málaga and the great work of each teammate”.
Uruguay… and Spain
“My heart is a little divided. One is with Uruguay to the core, but I’ve been in Spain 16 years, my children were born here, and I have a great affection for the country”.
Darío Silva, genius and figurehead
“With Dario we went to the Korea and Japan World Cup, where we met with Gonzalo de los Santos, ‘Chengue’ and Munúa (…) I remember before leaving for the World Cup the passport was full, and we went with Darío and I had to stay; then when Darío was boarding the plane he said he wasn’t going without ‘Gato’. Then Darío came with me. These are things I won’t forget”.
Korea and Japan 2002
“We had a lot of teammates (Montero, Abreu, Recoba and Forlán, amongst others) who played in the best leagues with the best teams. From a personal aspect it was a wonderful experience”.
